Adventures in .NET Software Craftsmanship!

Recently, motivated by the launch of Windows 8 and the recent seismic activity on the Mid-Atlantic region. I began to work on a very simple project, a Windows 8 Store application that showcases recent significant seismic activity worldwide using the data provided by the United States Geological Survey (http://www.usgs.com). I am proud to announce that the first version of my app “Rumble Radar” is available now for download from the Windows 8 Store.

Features- Geocodes and groups significant earthquakes, as designated by USGS, for the past 7 days.- Color encodes earthquakes using alert level, as assigned by USGS.- Links to detail information at USGS Website.

Roadmap/Future Enhancements- Expand dataset to include all earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 and greater for the past 30 days.- Interactive map of all earthquakes.- Generate date based statistics per region.
